    GTX 980 black screen problem

    I have a custom system I built in 2015 with help from this forum. The system has an ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero MB and an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti video card. I have two 32" monitors that run off of this with the monitors using daisy chained display port connection. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64...

    Garbled Audio Problem

    Here's the resolution: I did a full system wipe and setup from scratch. I'm still recovering from that, but I finally have working sound. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I've now been several days without a recurrence of the problem. Thanks everyone for your help!

    Garbled Audio Problem

    I started out with audio from the motherboard. When that showed the problem, I tried HDMI out from the video card. Same problem. Then I bought the audio card and ran the audio out of it. Same problem. I haven't tried a USB device. I'm willing to give that a shot. Are you talking about...

    Garbled Audio Problem

    Three years ago I built a custom PC with help from people from this forum. Since very early in the life of the machine I have had audio problems that I have been unable to resolve. I'm at the point now where I'm thinking I may need to build a new machine to resolve this, but I'm not sure how...

    Can't fix sound problem

    Thanks, Jim Kim, will try what you've said. Nenu, the problem occurs across all apps. The OS idea is an interesting one. Will have to wait until I get some free time to try that option.

    Can't fix sound problem

    I put together a new PC a bit over a year ago with help from people here. I am having an ongoing sound problem that I cannot resolve. The system originally used the sound support built into the motherboard, an ASUG ROG Maximus VIII Hero. After having ongoing unsolvable problems with the audio...

    Help me put together "high end" system

    Thanks everyone for your help. I wound up pulling the trigger on the purchase on Wednesday night. (Good thing since I spent most of Thursday sick from a stomach virus.) Looks like all the pieces will get here on Monday. I added a CPU cooler, keyboard/mouse, and some supplies. Total came to...

    Help me put together "high end" system

    I just now purchased the CPU from Amazon. They indicated they had one, although it says it will not ship out immediately. I bought an Intel Boxed Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz 8M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I76700K. I figured the next item to buy will be the motherboard. Looking around at...

    Help me put together "high end" system

    Thanks all. I'm going to start putting things in shopping carts at different places. :) Have a big project I'm involved in right now. Thinking I will either order on Thursday or Friday evening as a reward for getting that finished. I still need to pick out a case. I'm looking for something...

    Help me put together "high end" system

    It looks like the 980 TI works well for the video card. Now I just have to figure out which 9 of them they have on Amazon I need to order. (I'll check other places too.) Recommendations? A 6700k processor sounds good, too. Looks like those are currently hard to find. Z170 motherboard looks...

    Help me put together "high end" system

    Thanks all for the info so far. Software used: In a typical session I'll have open: Outlook, IE, Tableau, SAP Lumira, Excel, Access, Camtasia, Dreamweaver, SAP HANA Studio, and an RDS session. Nothing too exotic. Things I do of a multithreaded nature run on different hardware that I remote...

    Help me put together "high end" system

    No. The budget excludes the monitors (which I already have).

    Help me put together "high end" system

    I'd be grateful for help with a new system build. Background: I have a system that is about 2.5 years old that I built with help from people here. I'm seeing frequent (a few times a week) crashing (memory errors or similar) and then also times when upon startup I get video errors. I plan to...
